Cushions: More Than One Choice

When it comes to selecting a
new cushion or pillow, it’s not as simple as wandering into any old shop and
grabbing the cheapest option. A lot of commercially produced cushions have
poor-quality in-fills that wear out very quickly. For a long-lasting, more
comfortable option, Padgham Upholstery can supply a range of customised inserts,
from foam to feathers, to ensure you’re relaxing with the best quality pillows
and cushions available.

Foam Cushions

Made from polyurethane foam,
foam cushions are a popular option among homeowners. They’re available in a few
different densities. Essentially, the denser the cushion is, the longer it will
last. However, keep in mind that while high-density foam will last much longer,
it may also be less comfortable. For a softer cushion, lower density foam may
be more suitable. It is interesting to note that all foam looses one third of it density in the first year so it is better to start with cushions that are slightly firmer initially.

Feather and Foam Mix

The feather and foam mix
inserts we supply at Padgham Upholstery are made from premium duck feathers.

Our feather mix cushions are
made from a combination of high-quality fibre, foam, duck down (the feathers
from the belly of the bird), and a premium mix of feathers. We also supply
cushion inserts that are comprised of a mix of 100% feathers.

Regardless of which type of
insert you choose, you can rest assured both feather and feather mix cushions
offer superior support and comfort.

Polyester Fibre

This type of cushion insert
is super soft and supportive. They’re made from polyester fibre that optimises
the lifespan of your cushion, ensuring it stays plump and comfortable for
longer. They’re also often referred to as the middle ground between foam and
feathers, as they’re more supple than foam, but more affordable than feathers.

The main benefits of this
type of cushion is that they’re non-allergenic, easy to wash, and odour-free.

Whether you’re after foam,
feather or polyester fibre, Padgham Upholstery has a broad selection of cushion
inserts to choose from. Our knowledgeable team will also be able to guide you
through each option, to make sure you walk away with an insert that will last a
lot longer than a generic store brought option, and will be soft and
supportive.
